Welcome. Nice looking truck. Curious what you think about the ridge grapplers?
I have only driven them on the highway so far, but given the tread design that was more the test for me than off-road. Admittedly, I was blown away as they roll awesome with minimal noise. Even at cruising speeds of 70 and higher. I'm coming off of Grappler G2"s and I have to say the Ridge Grapplers are only slightly louder. I'm also very happy with the 33x12.50 size. I mounted them on XD Series Machetes 18/9 with +25 offset and they fit perfectly into the arch of the KDSS strut and barely kiss the inside soft portion of the mud flaps.

Welcome!
I've been curious about the Ridge Grapplers since seeing their press release.
Can you do one favor?
Could you get an ACTUAL measurement? By that I mean, how close to 33" do they actually end up given your rim size, etc.? The reason I ask is because most tires vary a great deal compared with others, and rarely hit their exact stated size. Maybe do a measurement left to right....at the middle of the tread...in order to avoid normal truck-weight variables if measured top to bottom? Would appreciate it!
I had a similar concern as I was trying to match a previous set up of of 275/60/r20 that fit perfectly, but I wanted an 18". I called Nitto to get their opinion and they said the exact inflated size of the 33x12.50 is 32.86 with a width 12.52. For the measurement you requested from left to right, center tire to center tire, I get roughly 43". Not sure what that equates to for overall dimension.

Thanks for responding.
Buy center to center, really just meant center-tread to center-tread from left to right... measuring the diameter.
If Nitto was right, that should be the 32.86. I'd be curious what your own measure of didmeter comes to. My mention of left to right was just to ignore the typical diameter loss gif measure mounted, from bottom to top.

Love the color!
Ahhh. Pictures help. 32 1/4.
Hello from Portland, Oregon! Beautiful 200 you have. That is pretty much exactly what I want my Cruiser to look like. What bumper and lift did you put on it? Mine got hit from behind yesterday (bumper damage mostly it appears) and the tires are shot (36k on them) so it is time to do some modifications. I'm thinking 2-3"lift, and upgrade bumpers and tires. Add some lights too!
Thank you for the compliments. I have a few more items on my wish list, but this is what I have done so far:
OME 2" Lift-Heavy Rear Springs
ARB Safari Bumpers Front and Rear. Front is minus the hoop.
Rigid Lights
Wheels are XD Series "Machetes" 18/9 +25offset
Nitto Ridge Grapplers 33/12.50
No front lift? Same OME on the front?
Front is a 2" standard weight lift with Slee Upper Control Arms.

Love the pics from Mongolia...
Curious tho.
When I zoom in, it looks like you have a guitar bag hanging off of your front bumper lights. ??
Maybe some kind of pull pal and cable bag for frequent use (don't have to tediously re-spool) perhaps? That, or Jack Johnson is riding shotgun with his Gibson stored up front.

Heh! Funny! I had actually written a question of whether they'd killed some poor Mongolian Guitar player...but deleted it.
I think yours is a good guess. The yellow made me think some TJM product...
